Concern
Dark patches, sun spots and melasma that make your skin tone look uneven.
Plans are customised after your consultation.
The main treatment for stubborn pigment and melasma: professional systems that lift pigmented cells and slow new pigment from forming.
Low-energy toning breaks pigment up gradually and evens the overall tone between peels.
A peel course keeps tone even once the main treatment is done, and treats lighter, newer patches.
Brightening and hydrating actives placed into the skin support the peels and laser from within.
An antioxidant course some clients add for overall brightness, given only after a health check.
Gentle monthly upkeep once pigment is under control, with no heat or harsh exfoliation.
Your plan
Step 1
Dr. Poonam checks the type and depth of your pigment and starts sunscreen and a prescription cream, which prepare the skin for treatment.
Step 2
Cosmelan (the studio mask, then the night cream at home), or a Meline or Innopeel course, with laser toning in between. Meso face or gluta can be added to support the result.
Step 3
A peel or laser toning every month or two, daily sunscreen and the maintenance cream, because melasma returns with sun and hormones.
Pigmentation is controlled, not cured, so every plan includes the home care that keeps it from coming back.

I had troubled skin when my PCOD peaked and realised it was something only a professional could help me with. My skin has improved phenomenally under her guidance. She understands the concern and helps improve it to its root, rather than working simply on the surface.

I went in to have a peel and she answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. I love the cold air they blow to help not feel the pinches. I love my results.

She raises the bar on patient care. She is informative and comforting, and very thorough. Always takes the time to answer my questions and I never feel hurried.

My hair had been thinning, and after my pregnancy it was much more noticeable. She recommended I start on mesotherapy, and I am loving what I see already.
